Transthoracic Ultrasonography Findings and Their Relation to Spirometric Indices in Patients With Obstructive and Restrictive Respiratory Diseases
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Evaluation of respiratory function is considered a crucial component in the assessment of patients with a wide range of respiratory diseases. Spirometry is considered a common method of measuring pulmonary function. Recently, Transthoracic ultrasound yields important diagnostic information within minutes. Respiratory muscle ultrasound is used to evaluate the anatomy and function of the respiratory system.

---|---|
normal people people who don't complain of respiratory diseases will be examined by chest ultrasound and pulmonary function test. |
Radiation: transthoracic ultrasonography
lung ultrasonography
Diaphragm and respiratory muscle ultrasound
inferior vena cava ultrasound
Device: spirometry
pulmonary function test : FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC will be measured.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- investigate the correlation between transthoracic ultrasonography findings and their relation to spirometric indices in patients with different respiratory diseases. [6months]
we will study the degree of change in lung ultrasound, diaphragm, and respiratory muscles ultrasound, inferior vena cava ultrasound in obstructive and restrictive respiratory diseases .also, we find their correlation with spirometric indices in these diseases.
